    Upstate SC intro!

    Hey all!
    My name is Ben and I'm currently living in the "Upstate" South Carolina area (Greenville, Spartanburg, etc). I've been into camping for a little while now, but only recently started gathering hammock gear. You can all thank/blame shug's videos for me finding out about your secret hideaway forum

    As far as gear, I'm using an ENO doublenest, a Wise Owl hex tarp, bug-net and underquilt with a generic floor tarp from Amazon. 20210407_155042.jpg

    I'm waiting on some nice amsteel from Dutchware to splice an adjustable ridgeline and make some whoopee slings, but USPS is taking ages. Happy to be here! You guys have a great forum Going to be on the lookout for any group hangs in the SC/NC area for sure. I've heard the Blue Ridge Mtns are quite the sight.

    Ben, your just in time for hammock season.
    You’ll want to check out PSH Palmetto State Hangers. Also I heard through the grapevine, JunebugDawn is gonna be having some hangs near you.
    You are automatically invited to any and all North Carolina hangs posted on Hammock Forums.

    If I got paid to tell lies...
    It just wouldn’t be as much fun...

    The Pink Super Moon is tonight Monday April 26 2021
    Proof positive, Space Aliens will invade shortly after midnight and will be in full control before the morning dew is gone.

    It’s not really pink, it’s called pink because certain pink flowers bloom coincides with this celestial event.
    Ben get out there in your hammock and see Pink Super Moon tonight.

    Old Phantom, high jack your introduction post.

    Everybody welcome Ben!

    @PhantomGrappler - Thanks for the heads-up about PSH and JunebugDawn. I'm going to have to keep a weather eye out for some events coming up. Also got a great look at that super moon, but I didn't have the benefit of checking this post first, otherwise I might have brought my Nikon! Something for the next round I suppose.

    @TwistingInTheWind - Thank you for the welcome! This is a heck of a nice community.
